Naruto dark night Shura

Uchiha Zhen first came to Hatake Sakumo's house.

The Hatake clan has few members and the clan's territory is not large, but its geographical location is excellent.

But he remembered that Kakashi lived more like a dormitory as an adult, and the Hatake tribe never appeared at all.

It was Kakashi who opened the door for him.

"Long time no see Kakashi, how is your life as a genin?"

"I have been a chuunin for more than three months."

Kakashi didn't expect that Uchiha Zhen would come over at this time. He thought he came to see his father, so he naturally welcomed him in.

Recently, he has a lot of tasks and rarely has time at home. His father is in a particularly bad mood.

"Chunin?!"

Uchiha Zhen frowned and his eyes darkened. Kakashi was not qualified to be a chuunin now.

If compared, even in the hands of Nara Tomokazu, who was not good at fighting in the Chunin stage, he would not get any benefit.

Kakashi thought Uchiha Sada was questioning the authenticity of his chuunin status.

"Father, Senior Uchiha Makoto is here to see you."

Seeing Hatake Sakumo leaning against the wall decadently, surrounded by wine bottles and jars, looking like a decadent uncle, he frowned and said to Kakashi: "Go and make a bowl of hangover soup for your father."

"You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Hatake Sakumo's voice was weak, and it couldn't match the Konoha White Fang on the battlefield. "You have become stronger again. In more than half a year, I can no longer see through you. strength."

"Sakumo-sama, is this important?"

"You once asked me how to choose between companions and tasks. My choice was the same as you predicted."

Hatake Sakumo's eyes were empty as he stared at the ceiling, without any emotion, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"The mission is important, but if you exchange the lives of your companions for the success of the mission, it is worthless. How is it any different from scum?"

"Sakumo-sama, what is your original intention of becoming a ninja?"

"An excellent clan leader? A ninja strong enough to protect all his companions? What is the purpose of the mission?"

Uchiha Makoto's question made Hatake Sakumo regain some clarity and laughed at himself: "It's ridiculous. I have been a ninja for more than [-] years, but I am not as clear-minded as you think."

"Sakumo-sama, no matter whether the mission is successful or not, your ending will not change. You will not be unaware that Kakashi's situation is even worse."

Uchiha Satsuma sat cross-legged opposite him. This mission was a game for Hatake Sakumo, a game tailor-made according to his character.

The key to breaking the situation lies in himself, not the outside world.

Let me ask you, if Hatake Sakumo successfully completed the mission and the sacrifice of his companions was used as a sharp edge, would he choose to face it all indifferently?

The result is still the same!

He cares too much about what the outside world thinks of him.

"Yes, so I'm waiting for you."

He had already noticed it when Kakashi was promoted to chunin, and he put the knife on Kakashi's neck to threaten him to make a choice.

He cares about his reputation, but he cares more about Kakashi's life.

Hatake Sakumo took out a palm-sized dark object and made a seal. The originally dark lump emitted a colorful halo.

After a while, a dozen elite ninjas from the Hatake clan appeared in the room.

"This is the symbol of the successive heads of the Hatake clan. All the ninjas in our clan will obey its orders if you have it. Take it."

Uchiha Zhen frowned, he couldn't take this thing.

"You should leave that to Kakashi."

A dozen Hatake ninjas were shocked but did not show dissatisfaction.

"Kakashi can't hold it, but you can. No matter where you are, I hope the Hatake clan will always exist."

Kakashi, who had finished cooking the sobering soup, was about to go in at the door when he happened to overhear the conversation between the two.

"Father, why...am I so bad in your eyes?"

Kakashi seemed to have been shaken out of his soul. He did not continue to listen, put the hangover soup in the kitchen and left.

Hatake Sakumo just glanced at the door slightly and continued: "I will use the inheritance passed down by the Hatake clan for thousands of years in exchange for you to protect Kakashi for a few years."

"No, it's a request!"

"Why me?" Uchiha Zhen didn't want to get involved in this mess.

"You know how to protect yourself better than anyone else. Looking at the entire Konoha, only you can do it."

The Hatake clan's millennium heritage is so tempting, but it's also a troublesome thing!

He knows the pros and cons.

"Sakumo-sama, I can let Kakashi enter the torture department. As for the Hatake clan..."

He wanted to move these tribesmen out of Konoha and let them go to Tian Country first. On the one hand, they could help with mining, and on the other hand, those shops needed people to take care of them.

"It's up to you! Whether it's your sword or your appendage, they will obey."

Hatake Sakumo directly handed over the disposal of the Hatake clan to him.

"Clan leader! You...that...young patriarch..."

One of the Hatake ninjas seemed to have noticed something, and his voice was slightly choked. Their clan leader was explaining the funeral arrangements.

"He is Konoha's genius ninja Kakashi, and is no longer the young leader of the Hatake clan."

Hatake Sakumo's calm voice, mixed with the faint chakra, shocked people's hearts and forced them to surrender.

"I understand." Uchiha Zhen exhaled and took the dark lump, "Sakumo-sama, as long as I am in Konoha, no one, whether it is the Hatake clan or Kakashi, can touch me. them."

When the ninjas of the Hatake clan saw Uchiha Zhen taking over the symbol of their clan, they knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Sir, we will obey your orders from now on."

Although they were somewhat puzzled by the arrangement of their clan leader, they could also see that their young clan leader had no concept of family, so they agreed with the arrangement of Hatake Sakumo, who was planning for the safety of his clan members.

Uchiha Zhen waved his hand, and the ninjas disappeared into the room.

"Thank you, Kakashi kid...I have been neglectful these years."

Hatake Sakumo regretted that during Kakashi's growth stage, he was either on a mission or on the way to a mission, almost leaving him to roam Konoha.

If he taught it himself, he might not be as good as Uchiha Zhen, but he wouldn't be far behind.

The next morning.

The news that Hatake Sakumo hanged himself spread throughout Konoha.

A generation of heroes with great military exploits finally ended their lives in such a depressing way.

Even so, the rumors did not let him go.

Except for Orochimaru and Jiraiya who came to Hatake Sakumo's funeral, everyone else avoided it.

Uchiha Zhen looked at the lost Kakashi in front of the mausoleum, and kept saying that ninjas are tools, and those who break the rules of ninjas will be called scum among ninjas...

He couldn't understand what was going on in Kakashi's mind. If his father hanged himself at home, he would definitely send all the people involved to atone for his father's sins.

One of the Hatake ninjas saw Kakashi's appearance and shook his head in despair. He walked up to him and said respectfully: "Sir, my name is Hatake. Master Kakashi is the only bloodline of the clan leader. You see... ."
